Group F of UEFA Euro 2020 took place from 15 to 23 June 2021 in Budapest's Puskás Aréna and Munich's Allianz Arena. The group contained host nations Hungary and Germany, alongside the two UEFA Euro 2016 finalists: defending champions Portugal and runners-up (and 2018 FIFA World Cup winners) France. It was the first time since the 2014 FIFA World Cup where the previous finalists met each other in the group stage of the next tournament.
That combination of teams led to the group being referred to as a "group of death". Despite Hungary being considered the weakest of the four, they kept a clean sheet for 84 minutes of their match against Portugal before losing 3–0, and led against France and twice against Germany before those matches finished as draws.

Discipline Fair play points were to be used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams were tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows: yellow card = 1 point red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points direct red card = 3 points yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points
Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.
